Action Program @ University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center

The Appalachian Career Training in Oncology (ACTION) Program at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center prepares students from the Appalachian Kentucky area to pursue oncology-related careers in order to address the cancer disparities in the region. ACTION engages participants in cancer research, cancer education and career development, clinical observation, and community outreach activities. This summer, a component of our research activities will occur via a partnership with eCLOSE. This partnership will allow you as participants to gain an understanding of the intersection between nutrition and cancer genetics.
